ludwb675 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm going to be changing my fork oil soon. I have pretty much any common tool there is, but fork tools aren't so common. Just wondering if anyone in the North Olmsted/Cleveland area has these tools i can borrow instead of buying.Fork Compressor (I can make something pretty easily)Cartridge Holder ToolDamper Rod Holder41mm Fork Seal Driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) I plan on taking them all the way apart to get everything out. No idea what the previous owner did so the fork oil could be 6 years old. Want to get it all out. Edited May 8, 2013 by ludwb675 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yes, good idea to change the fork seals also if that old... My opinion since you will have them apart...If you are doing track days now, my suggestion would to be get the tools from a place like Traxxion where they are very inexpensive and for the low amount of use you will be using them, they will hold up just fine.http://www.traxxion.com/ForkServiceToolKit.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetfighterkz Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I have a decent 41mm fork seal driver but I'm in Akron which may be too far.Later, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie.harris Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I did my seals with a tool that i made, worked fine. For a seal driver just take a PVC pipe and cut a 2-inch section in half and clamp them together on the fork(my were tight enough that i didnt need to clamp it though). I didnt need anything else special that i remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVTPilot Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I already have the fork oil leveling tool, and have been working to acquire a spring compressor. Let me know when you would plan to do this, as r1crusher and I are looking to get ours done before the next MS round. We may host a wrenching event at my place like Jinu did a few weeks back.

ludwb675 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I'm going on vacation 5/11-5/18; VEGAS! But i was going to do it whenever i got around to it. It would be great to get together and do it though. During the week might be close on time but i'm free 5/25 and 5/27 all day.I was going to make my own compressor using a car jack and the garage wall studs.

But should that not happen, yes, please bring it to the next round and I will collect it then, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
